00:00 President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. is considering China's next move to arrest trespassers in the South China Sea as an act of escalation.
00:11 This is the reaction of the President when he was asked about the four-month fishing ban that China has on the West Philippine Sea,
00:20 despite the fact that our territory is in the hands of the media in Brunei. According to President Marcos, China's next move is to re-examine their claim
00:32 that all of this is part of their so-called maritime territory.
00:40 It's just an extension again of their claim that this is all the maritime territory of China. So it is just, it is nothing new.
00:53 There are sometimes there are fishing bans because they are, because it's the season. And this is something that we have actually agreed upon before.
01:02 But the new policy of threatening to detain our own citizens, that is different. That is an escalation of the situation. So yes, it is now very worrisome.
